After many years of disappointing performance, Sub-Saharan Africa
has shown impressive growth performance since the start of the
millenium. However, the impact of this on poverty reduction is
still not well understood and this led the African Economics
Research Consortium in Nairobi to undertake a major collaborative
research project on the linkages between growth and poverty
reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa. This volume is based on research
undertaken by world leading researchers on major issues influencing
the extent to which growth can translate into poverty reduction.
The volume includes two review chapters on the impact of growth on
poverty reduction, and on the impact of widespread poverty on
economic growth, and argues that both relationships are important
for understanding how growth and poverty reduction interact. The
volume focuses, in detail, on the role of agriculture, the labour
market, the informal sector, the industrial sector, the global
context, and macroeconomic issues. All chapters comprise an
extensive review of the existing literature and highlight new and
important directions. As more information on the evolution of
poverty and living conditions in Sub-Saharan Africa emerge, this
volume is important in helping to interpret and explain that
evidence.
